[QUOTE="Ironwood, post: 682312, member: 10447"] I think going to a bigger sensor might not be the best thing to do here. It may be possible to achieve what you want using something like a Raynox [url=http://www.raynox.co.jp/english/dcr/dcr250/indexdcr250eg.htm]DCR-250 Super Macro conversion lens for D-SLR cameras, 4K and HDV Camcorders[/url] . It will help put more pixels on your subject. As far as lenses go, have a look at the Sigma 150 & 180mm macro lenses. One thing to note is , they will only get you to 1:1, the same as your Tokina, or the Nikon 200mm. What this means is, at the closest focus distance, your 5mm subject will take up 5mm of your sensor. So the longer lenses won’t make the subject look bigger, this is where the Raynox will help you. Another option, which may be your best one, is to go the other way, and get a smaller sensor camera, with M4/3 the subject will take up a lot more of the frame, the depth of field will look like more of your subject is in focus. check out this Guy, he uses a M4/3 sensor camera, uses AF for all his shots. It’s a long read, but worth it. [URL]https://beingmark.com/macro-illustrated/[/URL] He’s a helpful Guy and will answer questions if you ask them. How will your images be viewed, printed out, or on a screen? [/QUOTE]
